RocketGro achieve top A & B grades for every product in Responsible Sourcing Scheme Audit.  
GTN Xtra Promotion

RocketGro are delighted that their recent audit from the Responsible Sourcing Scheme further highlights the sustainable eco credentials of the RocketGro business.

 

With all audited products achieving the highest A & B grades within the scheme, this forms an excellent base line for RocketGro to make tweaks to push those B’s into the A category and do even more to sustainably produce their products.

 

RocketGro Managing Director Toby Thomas commented: “We are really happy that our product range has scored so highly in our recent audit. As the only supplier of growing media (at scale) that does not use Coir in the production of our products we believe that our scores should improve further as the scheme matures and perhaps better rewards the use of 100% sourced mainland UK substrates.’’

 

‘‘The RSS scheme is an important industry standard and we are very pleased to have this audit completed and to have supported the scheme as we will continue to do so.’’

 

‘‘Being a member of the RSS scheme, having never touched Peat, now capturing the CO2 at our bio-gas production plant, still powering 13,000 local homes with green energy, being the only compost producer that powers their bagging plant with green energy, and with 100% British substrates in their compost, RocketGro continue to go above and beyond and have set the industry eco standard at a very high level.’’
